I'm a 68 yr old Aussie grandma and am delighted to find your channel.I was a single mother and I raised my kids out in the country ( picking spuds, and then sorting them). My kids went to school on the school bus. I made a large vege garden, and owned a goat ...those were the best time of our lives. It's so great to see youngsters doing what you are. I am now a minimalist...got rid of pretty much everything I didn't NEED. It was like a weight off my shoulders. I truly wish you all the best!
Praise God it’s rare to see young Aussie’s together happily married at a young age and with children. Well listening to you all towards the end I then realised that you place your faith and trust in Christ which makes a massive difference. Good on you both for stepping out of the system and making it out on your own.
I'm so glad I found your video so happy for you both we are watching your videos from Srilanka I've seen homsteds in the USA Canada but this is the first time one in Australia I'm happy I can see all your doing from the start wishing you all the very best of luck. We have chickens ducks Turkeys dog's in a small scale lot of fruit trees some vegetables I enjoy my garden very much both of you are right to start small as you need to learn before going farming in a big place. God blees you both and the sweet little one. ❤👍👍👍
You’ve got this! I’m 62 and have just built … on my own … a tiny house on wheels to live in, in the Victorian High Country, to live as self sufficiently as I can. If I can start this lifestyle at 62 your little family can most definitely achieve your dreams. I’m so looking forward to following your journey. - Donna
I like the feels of this. I am sensing a value system and a way of thinking close to my own. I have subscribed, Just remember your values are always more important than views, don’t let the comments section deter you from calling a spade a spade. You will find your village here stay true. Looking forward to following your journey and wishing you incredible success.
Well done so far so good little steps, we are eighty and have a quarter acre with fruit trees veggies chickens keeps you healthy too out in the fresh air.we have solar panels and water tanks also . As well as your faith you are giving you children a great gift of learning alongside you,and strengthening your marriage by working for the same goals.look forward to seeing your progress. You can begin with seeds in a sunny window and pop them in bigger pots while your getting organized. Blessings Nana D
Thank you!! We agree, it seems there isn't many big channels in Australia but we're hopeful we can grow into one! And yes im trying to keep the build simple and quick so I can get started in the garden straight away haha!
I'm so glad to hear you guys are Biblical Christians - which we are too and have the same views. I'd love to connect with you guys in future God willing. I'll be praying for you until our fateful meeting. If anyone else is a believer in the Central QLD area (or intending on moving there) please let me know as we would desire to open our block up to others who are looking to escape. We have 50 "cleared" (regrowth) acres at the front on a 6.5km dead end dirt road the council never visits. The other 200 acres are conservation-grade dry eucalypt woodlands.
I’m at the opposite end of the spectrum in that I have sold the farm now and retired to a lovely little beach town in central Queensland. I love to see young people having a go and trying to be as self sufficient as they can these days. I have subscribed and will offer any suggestions that I think may be helpful for you. The best way to learn about growing food is to just get started. Dig a patch and plant some seeds. You will be surprised at how quickly you will learn. Having a worm farm is a great idea because it will keep your plants strong and healthy and they will thrive with some worm juice. We never used any chemicals in our garden. We just used the worm juice and we had such an abundance of food. Smaller houses are a great choice because it will free up more time to spend in the garden. 😊😊 You youngsters have a great philosophy. You are very wise to get started now because this system is on the verge of collapse.
Yes thank you for this thoughtful comment ❤. Thanks for supporting us and we’ll happily take any advice from people who know more than us! We have a lot to learn 🙌🏼
“Having a mortgage” also means working, away from said home, to pay for it Your away 90% of the time slaving away to pay for something you are not enjoying It doesn’t make sense Yes, we are in a position where we have debt, but are both lucky enough to work from home so get to enjoy it all day everyday. I’m going to sound old here (47) but I’m so impressed with your family’s conscious decision to live within your means, not have some big fancy house, and to want to improve your health and self reliance So refreshing! looking forward to binge watching your other episodes!
I am African based in Australia. I have subscribed because i love living with nature and simple natural life. As a Palliative Care Nurse, I have been visiting Australian who live in Small plots of Sydney and i really love it. Well done guys. Young and wise
Just found your channel. We’re currently owner/builder on a 2.5 acre block in regional SA for many of the reasons you’ve stated. Some tips that we’ve learnt along the way. Get a permaculture designer involved ASAP. They can help you maximise the production value of your land, whilst minimising the amount of work you have to do to maintain it as things will be working in harmony. You ideally want to do this before you plant trees/build infrastructure as it makes it easier to have it all in the right place to start with. Living with the land for at least every season will help with that process too. Self sufficiency sounds ideal, but community and redundancy is even better. No man is an island, and you want to build up a supportive community you can rely on for advice and support in the difficult seasons. This especially includes producers of things you can’t grow yourself, as well as other local gardeners who can give you hints and help. While going off grid sounds great, the reality in Oz is that if the water/sewer runs past your block you’ll have to pay regardless. So don’t be too dismissive of that, especially on a budget. We don’t have water to our block, and the infrastructure cost to be completely off grid, especially when growing your own food isn’t small. It’s also built in redundancy in a drought to have mains water to keep growing your food. A small house sounds great, but if you plan to expand your family further whilst growing and storing your own food, it might be wiser to build a bit bigger house so that you don’t outgrow it too quickly. Food storage takes up a lot more room than you realise, especially if you start to factor in meat as well as fruits and vegetables, so you need to make sure you have sufficient space for that. A years supply of vegetables is a lot, especially for a growing family. Whilst a wood fire sounds good, it’s a lot of upkeep and possible expense when you don’t have land of your own to cut the wood from. We have instead designed our house using as many passive haus principles as possible, so we have low energy usage for heating/cooling. This in turn means we can eventually use a solar system with batteries to provide that free of charge, and it won’t need any inputs from us to keep us warm/cool. So that’s something to consider, especially as you’re trying to do things lower cost, and a good wood fire isn’t cheap. I look forward to following along and seeing your homestead progress!
WOW thank you! there is so much great advice in this comment and I agree with everything you have said! Beautiful thing about documenting our journey is that people like yourself who take the time to help actually are a part of story and help build our homestead! Thank you x
@@Homestead_OnTheRock_ This is all great advice here! I would add that you can still build small but design it so you can easily extend or add an additional “pod” or two. Build what you need & add as you need & can afford. So think of a possible future extension footprint when planning your garden. I’m curious what you do for jobs. Do you have a tradie background? Best of luck to you 👍👍
@@rebeccasnell2953 I don’t have mains water to my block, so we’re off grid for water as the cost to put in 135,000L of rainwater storage was less than the cost to run a trickle feed to my block (which would still require a storage tank, just smaller). Plus it doesn’t have quarterly supply charges. We’re on the YP within prime farming land so rainfall is reasonable, although this year has been drier. We’re not ready to move in yet, but the tank is full, and it’s calculated to be almost 2 year of water at our current usage without the garden factored in. Once we have a shed we’ll put more tanks off that for further redundancy, with the aim of 2 years of house and garden usage in storage. We’ll also focus on permaculture methods combined with water wise gardening to minimise the water needed to grow our food.
So much to love here. Faith in Jesus to direct your path! Confidence. Optimism. Youthful enthusiasm. Openness to new experiences. Eagerness to learn. Practicality. Self-sufficiency. Love. Family. Finding a community. I could go on and on but I'm here to follow your story. As someone who is coming up 2 years on land, thank you for sharing your aspirations and how you overcome the challenges with us.
I’m so excited to be here at the beginning! My husband and I live in the US and we are both retired and both disabled. I watched the birth video first and it was astonishing. We aren’t going to be starting a homestead but I feel like I could get a lot of uplifting and educational content and that’s hugely better than most of what the US has going on right now especially! So happy to be here at the beginning of your journey on You Tube. Sending love and peace to your family from mine! Jesus is helping me through some intense times in my life and I hope to learn more about Him as well! ❤️💫🌸💫❤️
Oh wow this is such a wholesome comment! thank you and im hopeful we can provide the Uplifting and educational content you will enjoy! Hope things get better for you over there soon! Bless ya sister xx
I'd suggest checking with your local council guidelines. 1/4acre is usually zoned as residential, not "land" or rural like you seem to be desiring. Which means they impose restrictions like no roosters, no livestock (goats) etc. A residential block, means neighbours close by who complain about noise, smells etc so even if you try to sneak in the rooster or goat or whatever, someone will dob you in. Same as the tree you think might need removing, it didn't look like it was within your fence line so you probably wont have any say in removing or even pruning it. Some councils wont let you collect rain water for consumption. You can collect for irrigation but not for drinking. Again, council specific. Hopefully you were aware of this and did some of these checks before purchasing the block. Good luck to you all :) You've started and that's more than many people ever do.
This is so true about neighbours and councils, but do what you want until you can't. The goat will be trouble, they eat everything, but if you keep it enclosed in an area with a very strong and high fence it's doable. Don't let others stop you, you might be the first person who figures out a solution. Do it the Aussie way, have a go mate! Sending you all lots of love, so happy to see young people doing this instead of succumbing to the conveniences of the matrix system.
Just be super friendly with your neighbours and gift them eggs, fruit, veg, honey. They will be more forgiving and you might even inspire some to make some sustainability changes
Hey Thanks for your comment! You're correct this is residential land and we do have neighbors which will limit some of our options! We still believe 1/4 acre is a great start for us as we have little to no experience and can use this land as a great stepping stone in our homesteading journey! We will be sure to keep things neighbor & council friendly while we hope to inspire a lot of other people who only have a smaller block that Homesteading is a way of life and not just the size and location of your land! Really appreciate your comment/advice! xx
@@Homestead_OnTheRock_ in our council, as we're surrounded by dairy farm land, we're allowed roosters. Guinea fowl are noisy & fly. Turkeys are big. Start with chooks. Focus on planting fruit trees & designing your garden beds to be self sufficient. We're 4yrs on our block & just starting to get fruit off our trees. Daley's fruit trees is a great place to buy foods. Also Bush Tucker native plants
It is refreshing to see an Aussie family, make they're journey through building a home and a life for yourselves, I've subscribed can't wait to follow your journey ❤😊
Well done guys. I’m at the other end, 62, so I can understand your excitement. A couple of tips: get your fruit trees in now, July, to give them time to mature asap. You have more than enough space to be self sufficient especially if you plan it properly. It would be nice to give that gum tree a good trim to about half its size rather than remove it. Your goal to be debt free, or as close to as possible, is about the best goal you can have. Growing your own food can be labour intensive at the beginning but it will save you a ton of money and once your beds are producing it’s much easier. Being debt free will mean you probably won’t waste money on smokes, gambling, clubbing, drinking or expensive cars which not only will save a ton of money but give you the time to spend growing your own food. Speaking from experience, eating food you have grown seems to taste better and makes your wallet smile. Don’t be frightened to spend good money on quality items, believe me it pays off in the end. Together, you have set your goals and you have each other when it gets tough so please don’t listen to negative people or comments, there’s always those that will try and tear you down to make themselves feel better. A quote you may find inspiration from: The Dalai Lama, when asked what surprised him most about humanity, answered "Man! Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived.” Sorry about the lecture. Cheers and good luck from a very happy, debt free retiree. Stuart.
No apology needed mate we appreciate the advice! Thanks heaps for the detailed comment and all your suggestions! We have a lot to learn so we're going to be building our dreams with the help of people like yourself! thanks mate and all the best !
I’m west Australian but lived in Melbourne for three years about 11 years ago. I just Love Victorians. I love their vibe, they are so nice and relaxed. Enjoy the journey. Love how you’ve set goals and taking sensible steps toward achieving them. Well done gorgeous people x
Hey!! We were on a 1/4 acre in Wagga for 7 years, and I grew most of our produce, and yes we also had Nigerian Dwarfs for home milk! We've moved to land now, but we got a hell of a lot from that small block ❤ love your dreams I can't wait to see your home grow 🐐🌱
This is such a great find today! Thank you RU-vid algorithms😆 We are doing the same with our family. It’s certainly not fast or easy, but I know the long term gain will be worth the short term pain. The last 4 years have shown us what kind of a system we have been in and we also didn’t like it and made moves to get out of it. I pray the Lord gives you wisdom in all of your decision making and really guides every step. I look forward to watching your journey and knowing we’re not the only beginners out there in Oz who also love the Lord!
Plant fruit trees along the front fence, they will help act as a bit of a sound barrier once grown, and then you have the benefits of eating and preserving the fruits.
Hi, I suggest animals and chickens be placed on the side where the gums are, cause vegetables would struggle near them cause they will suck up all the water. Enjoy your dream
Agree...we had similar situation, where the gums thrived at the expense of the garden/ veggies. Even raised beds had gum roots invading. Congratulations on becoming as self sufficient as possible...if one thing ' covid' taught us, was that growing our own fruit and veg was the best choice ever. Our veg patch is 'out front' because that's where the sun is ( and it becomes a talking point for passing neighbours 😅). Good on you !
Thanks heaps for these comments! We will definitely be getting rid of one of those trees and we’re planning to not start any “permanent” garden beds until we know exactly where the best spots are! Appreciate having you guys share advice for us ❤
100 this! We tried our veggies 2 years in a row near our gums & finally realised the roots of the gums weren't helping. Moved all the veggies & the following year were reaping the rewards. 🍅🎃🌽🌿
Great to see another Aussie RU-vid channel doing a budget build, we are excited to watch your journey it’s good to see a young family living on a budget within their means.
So good to see another young aussie couple who love Jesus moving foward in life and making well informed decisions after doing their own research on things such as chemicals and nutritional values of store bought un organic products, food self reliance and sustainability as well as jaby jabs. Yes my wife and I (35 weeks pregnant) just watched your birth vlog too! Keep it up 😊 Jesus is king ❤
THANK YOU ❤ we have a lot to learn but obviously believe we’re on the right track as well!! Oh wow all the best for your birth as well ❤ Amen 🙏 Glad to have you supporting us x
It is so refreshing to come across a young family wanting to live this lifestyle I wish you all the best on this journey and I have subscribed to follow along
The best adventure is your own piece of land. Sometimes observation is the best first step of rain, drainage, sun, wind etc followed by carefully designing all the elements. Permaculture is a great system to plan with. I’ve been self sufficient in fruit and vege before but due to our drying climate think my main growing season is now autumn to spring to avoid summer watering. All the best guys !!
Yes building the house at the back of the block will give you privacy at the front and the fruit trees will deaden the street noise. I have an abandoned cottage with a 1/4 acre overgrown block, 6 months in, lots of work but loving it.
Good luck to you all. Victoria is a wonderful state to live in. The kindness of the people is so heart warming. I’m in central vic and we were going to build a straw bale. Well stuff happened & we had to quickly change plans. I’m glad we did as we have a lovely home we owner built. We went from having a design with stumps to a concrete waffle slab. I’m so glad we did. On these beautiful sunny days (which are often) the sun hits the slab warming our home. The temp in winter sun inside is 21-23c. I light the fire around 4-4.30pm. So only burn wood until 9.30 pm. With all the insulation it’s good. Yes we built a north facing house to capture the rays and had 900ml eaves. Wish we went a bit wider as the sun is still hitting the double glazed windows in the summer. We put louvre windows though on the south side which brings cool breezes in the summer. I get the feeling of not wanting concrete but once laid it is an amazing energy source & cooling system if you can keep the sun off it in the summer. Walk your land, get to know the winds and what time they flow mostly. Understand the frosts. They are mighty cold and can destroy your plants quickly if you don’t work with them. Citrus bushes are best placed on north side of a wall for protection from frosts. I used to grow onions but decided it wasn’t worth the effort for the cost of store bought. I focus on things I want to enjoy & grows easily. Love your attitude with debt. Just remember there’s good debt & bad debt. Building your own home is stressful so ensure you have gifts to yourself along the way. Don’t compromise on the important things that help you build the life you want.
My brother and sister-in-law had 16 perches 13 km from Brisbane CBD and they had a 100 year old workers cottage and they had bees, chickens and nearly all of their food growing on their little patch of paradise. You guys are going to crush it and I’m so happy RU-vid sent you my way. Can’t wait to keep up with your journey from my little house in rural Toowoomba, Queensland 💗🇦🇺🙏
Bravo. Nice to hear young ones with such good values etc. As a 16 yo man I was lucky to meet an old man. He seemed very content to me so I listened with great interest to him. One of his tips was to never get a loan. I'm now 52. I've never been in debt. I worked and saved hard and went without. I own (caretaker) my own land. Live off grid. And love it. It's a humble home yet to me it's a great way to live. Go well
This is so exciting. When you chop the tree down don't throw it away, cut them into smaller pieces and use the logs and twigs for the garden ( do hugelkultur).
Congratulations guys! 🎉🎉 Awesome job. I had the same problems in WA…. Not much around for under $100,000…. Found somewhere for $69,000 an hours drive from Perth, 1800sm. I found that the water corporation here would connect my property to the mains for only $200 to water my garden -IRRIGATION . Instead of the almost $2000 they want when you’re submitting house plans with your water application. Thought I’d let you know… as it’s a huge money saver. 😁 I also found that in the year I spent planting the garden out one set of neighbours were “Karen’s”… which was good to find out before I built. I ended up selling that block and buying slightly out of town. I have a similar vision.. I live off grid and every day is an adventure… it’s heaps of work…. But it’s the work that we as humans were designed to do pre-industrialisation. Is good for the soul. 100% agree with being debt free over a mortgage slave. I’d rather live in a small cabin debt free than a house with a fat mortgage. I’ve subscribed.. and look forward to seeing your journey. ❤️
Oh that is a great tip I will look into it! Thanks heaps for your comment, advice and support! Glad to have people like you supporting our journey and we appreciate you reaching out x
@@Homestead_OnTheRock_ you’re very welcome-think u guys have got the right idea going mortgage free and as sustainable as possible. Too many people end up in miserable jobs being slaves to mortgages or other debts. Saving until u can afford is the old fashioned way-before all this easy credit-credit which further enslaves you. Looking forward to seeing your adventures. ❤️
@@rangaroo6385 hey-yes I am-I’m close to York. On 2.5 acres. I had to ditch the York block due to the “Karen’s” next door. lol. And being in town was still too close to people. How long have u had ur block? I’m 7mths in. lol and I absolutely LOVE it. 😁
You’re on the right track. Take nano steps and realise that Rome wasn’t built in a day. Don’t be hard on yourselves when the wheels take a long time to turn around, because turn around they will. The Universe has opened a door and provided a platform where you can make a real difference for others keen to follow your example. Accept advice gracefully, but stay true to your dreams and do what’s right for you and your growing family going forward. I’m looking forward to following your weekly journey.🙏👩🌾
4 minutes in and it's already such a comfy vibe! Thanks to the almighty RU-vid algo for recommending you guys! EDIT: And now after watching the full video, I am so impressed and inspired by your vision and unity in partnership together! Wishing you guys all the best on your journey!
Welcome to our little town 🎉 it’s full of lovely kind people. We will try to say hello next time we are in town (we purchased a house there in 2021 with similar intentions to you but life had other plans). Good luck on the project and sing out if you want duck eggs for incubating (we always have excess in spring/summer). Council is pretty flexible with animals and has really clear guidelines on what you can and can’t do with your land.
How cool! I’ve got the same size block and just starting my build now as an owner builder. It’s been a lot of work but you can design what you want to suit your budget and needs. Looking forward to seeing your build/ block development come to fruition😊
New subscriber here. So encouraging to see this in Australia. Australia needs more young families choosing this wholesome lifestyle, and sharing on You Tube. Good on you, and greetings from Western Australia! 🇦🇺
Good on ya kids for taking this exciting step into a free life. If your interested in blocking some of the train noise, you may consider a tyre and fill mound or BERM we did this on our block and it buffers a huge amount of noise. Good luck 👍🇦🇺
Whoohoo, sounds fantastic. Congratulations on the purchase of land. Sending so much love, peace and abundance. I look forward to watching your progress ✨🌿💖🌿✨
Congratulations 🥳 I did the same thing 4 years ago when I was 65. From living in my van for 2 years to now living in a timber yurt on 1/2 acre with chooks, veggie gardens and 50 fruit and nut trees. When I bought there was nothing!! Not even a blade of grass. You’ll get there. How exciting 😊
Thanks for sharing your dream and that you found affordable land too. A small homestead is my dream I’m moving towards. Right now I’m practicing on a 590m2 suburban Melbourne block with chickens and big gardens. This year I’m hoping to produce all the tomatoes, chillies, pumpkins/squash, potatoes, relishes, jams and pickles we’d use in a year and work on onions. It’s definitely possible to produce loads in a small space. This is my second year coming in this home. Take a look at Roots and Refuge if you’re interested in dairy goats. Jess has breeds which she kills (apparently a sweet milk) and makes farmers cheese etc with it.
Saw your video for the first time. Really enjoyed it. I subscribed. Looking forward to being with you from the start of the build. I am a born again Christian, lovely to hear of your faith in Jesus. Love from Western Australia.
Make sure that when you plan your house, you do it in such a way that you can extend in the future if you need to. Small & cosy is fine when the kids are small but as they grow they'll need more room.
Absolutely big debts that we have these days is detrimental to health. For quite a few decades many of us were born into financial entrapment. Its a conditioning of society created by corporates and corrupt politicians. Love what you guys are doing and definitely you will have better quality of life.
It makes sense to prioritize the kitchen, in a homesteading scenario. You can never have too much counter space, when it comes down to harvesting and processing. A sizable covered deck/porch with a large table and a ceiling fan, where you can use a large canner(gas or electric), would be a good thing if you don't want your small cottage to be steamed out and be overpowered with large scale canning smells or chicken soup/broth production. Also, don't forget a large chest freezer. Don't even think about goats. They are the hardest animals to keep. They eat everything and are escape artists. You have to know how much chicken feed costs in your area and plan for that cost to go up.
Aw this was such a humble first video! Me and my partner have 2.5 acres in SA and are ever so slowly building our own homestead too. Goodluck on your journey guys. Cant wait to see your progress. ❤️
Good to see strong young couple building their life on stable foundations. In God we trust ! Plan well and show up every day with sleeves rolled up and you will be, rewarded.
I too am really excited to follow along on your quest for self reliance. Couldn’t agree more about our food system being broken, it seems to coincide with a health system that is becoming overwhelmed, it’s the food people that’s making us sick. Whilst I’m not in a position to do what you lovely people are doing i did vow never to eat processed food again, making everything I eat from scratch. I’m looking forward to getting to know you better through your channel and watching your little family grow. All the best to you both.
Good luck, be sure to familiarise yourselves with bushfire construction requirements for your block and the energy efficiency requirements for new builds.
Hi! So glad to see another Aussie homesteader. Congratulations on your land purchase. I would highly recommend Heritage Fruit tree nursery and their wide selection of dwarf fruit trees so you can have a larger selection of fruits on your size block. The great benefit of going that way is you can grow them in large pots so they can be moved until after your home build is complete. Eden seeds and Happy Valey seeds are good sources for heirloom seeds. Aussie Mushroom supplies are a fantastic, affordable Aussie company to get your preserving jars and pressure canning needs. Forjars canning lids are the best quality.
Well done guys. Been following you for a while and it's nice to see you both heading down the homestead road. Great to see there are more like minded people out there striving for the same goals. Looking forward to seeing more ! ❤
Bless your hearts, I wish I had this mindset 20 years ago, but we start when we can start. I’ll be following along and subscribing. Best of luck with this adventure! Love to see this attitude is young adults, gives me hope 💞!
You can place cattle panels along your entire fence line for tomatoes, beans, cucs, butternuts, etc and free up the ground for potatoes, greens, brassicas, capsicums etc. pay attention to the northern exposure fence lines
Exactly right. The cattle panels are great for climbers and I find the butternuts are bigger growing off the ground and no rotting when it's rains. I put my zucchini the in ground under them, it's great for pollination of flowers of both plants. A good Aussie gardening channel to follow is "self sufficient me" Good luck😊
Been doing this for years here in South Australia, it will be the best decision you make, especially with the current state of housing in Australia. All the best!
Bless you guys. It's so good to see a young family following the ways of Yeshua, and starting a homestead based on Him. ❤❤❤ May your himestead be a bkessing to your family and thise around you, and an amazing testimony to Yeshua. Shalom, Shell
I'm just checking out your videos. We started our homestead in 2015 in Arizona. Last year, we started building our main home and it's been an exciting journey...still learning from a good friend helping.
Just found your channel guy's! Love it God bless your family, My family and i live in Central victoria to and we are on the same path!! God bless in Jesus mighty name 🙏 ♥️
I love this! And yes your block is definitely enough to have a house and all the fruit and vegetables you can eat. My grandparents grew ALL their fresh produce for decades. He had fruit trees too, because some fruits and veg needed some shade. I’d have chickens, bees, goats and quails. Quails are really easy to look after and cheap to raise. They sell for $$$$.
Honestly if I could rewind the clock and relive my life, I would buy a block and build a humble home, grow my own food etc. I lost decades just working to build a home…Priorities were wrong and societal expectations made me think that was what I had to do
This was my dream 40 years ago. You can do this. It will take time, and you'll make mistakes, but you will learn from the mistakes. I wish you all the best in your new lifestyle.
Do it! With much prayer for guidance. Write down your goals, and all the things you want to do on your property. Divide it into sections, "garden, building, trees, tools, water, septic/compost, etc.. there are so many great videos on each and every subject. Country living builds character. Be encouraged, and God bless you🙏
Thanks for sharing the gospel in that last little message at the end. I love that you have shared your faith openly. This bible verse came to mind: “Prepare your work outside; get everything ready for yourself in the field, and after that build your house.” Proverbs 24:27 ESV Looking forward to watching your journey.
